Another Random Thought

"The day they met is a miracle to both of them.I could see it his eyes and feel it in his words when he tells the story for hundred time with the same amazement. I couldn't help but want to hear it again.
He knew right a way she was the one for him ...
Right away she interrupts with a joke making all of us burst into laughter forgetting where we were ...
She loved him with all her heart and that's all it took for him to give her his life...
Their love for one another is present for everyone around them to feel even when they are no longer together... 
You can see her in his every word ... in every movement he makes ... You can see her in him as if they were one..."
Being raised to see and feel that, how can I settle for less ????

Music as I hear it: Rascal Flatts - The Day Before You, Bless The Broken Road

(The following are some random thoughts of mine) You might already know that Rascal Flatts is my favourite bands. The thing I like about there music is that it always means something (At to me it does). The thing I'd like to mention here is Appreciating the Journey.

"Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you"

Bless The Broken Road

"Oh, but Heaven knows those years without you
Were shaping my heart for the that day I found you
If you're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you"

The Day Before You

The thing I find in those word is appreciation of what one's been through to reach the unexpected result God laid before him/her after an underestimated journey.

Also I get that one shouldn't settle for less. I believe in fairness in this world, you get what you've earned and you lose what you've given up. So if you're plan is not to settle for less then you should be out there giving your best for what you think you deserve.

One last thing, don't forget to appreciate the journey cuz that's what you'll have when you're old, memories, and it's up to you to decide whether you want them good or bad.

Faith, and renewing one's faith

Merriam Webster defines faith to be: "a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust" amongst other definitions.
I am sure that there is no need to tell you the importance of having faith in something. People have faith in God, in themselves, in the good in others, in freedom its different forms, and much more things. You use that faith to drive you to doing your best, overcoming difficulties and always moving forward. You always relay on it as the foundation of your life and how you see the world around you. It becomes your ideology, who you are.
As you go through your version of the adventure of living, your faith gets tested by all sort of things. Some events might shake your faith and may even falsify that faith. But, as long as it doesn't break you, you move on.
We use our faith to face what ever the days throw our way. And like any physical tool we use, faith wears out. It wears out by us forgetting the reasons why we believed, why we had faith. And one time you try using that faith, you don't find it there. So, you're trying to help someone, trying to overcome a downturn in your life or even trying to pray, you ask "why am I doing that?" and the answer doesn't seem that important or not even worth it.
The thing is, you took your faith for granted. You didn't let your faith be a part of your recent experiences and the reasons behind your faith became just some worn out words. That what's faith renewal is all about.
Every now and then we all need to remember why we're doing what we're doing, why we believe what we believe. Shout the words out loud, let the world hear them, let the world even criticize them. They can only get stronger after all, if they can stand the blows shot against them.
The reason I am writing this is to remember and tell the world what I am all about, I have faith in God, I have faith in myself, I have faith in the good in my Country, I have faith in everyone's right to have faith in whatever they want to have faith in, I have faith in freedom, I have faith in change, I have faith ...
Please comment and let the world hear what you have faith in, what you're all about.

How I Met You Mother, How I Never Met Your Mother

"The great moments of your life won't necessarily be the things you do. They'll also be the things that happen to you. Now, I'm not saying you can't take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action. And you will! But never forget, that on any day, you could step out the front door, and your whole life could change forever. You see the Universe has a plan kids; and that plan is always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings, and it starts to rain. It's a scary thought, but it's also kind of wonderful. All these little parts of the machine constantly working... Making sure that you end up exactly where you're supposed to be.. exactly when you're supposed to be there. The right place. At the right time." Ted

Right and Wrong, Strong and Weak: Which is Which??

When you're right you're strong. You can face the world fearlessly with what you are and what you believe in. There can be no doubt in what you're saying cuz after all you're right, and being right means having something to prove that you right.
And when you're wrong and holding on to it, you're afraid to be caught red handed. You try to cover what you're doing with lies and hide behind them cuz after all you're wrong, and what you're doing has nothing to support, but maybe your desires and what you might think to be your needs.
But what I am seeing now that right is not strong any more, people don't defend it the way I used to hear in the stories they kept telling me as I grew up. For some unknown reasons I can't find someone brave enough to stand behind the rightful truth, that he'd deserve his counterparts respect no matter what the result turned out to be.
This just a passing thought as I remembered how we're told about people that faced death without fear for the cause they believed in. Why don't we have any of those any more? that's a question for you and me.

Alone This Eid

Well, it's the first Eid for me to spend alone.
I switched the TV as I've been doing for the past few days. Boring as it can be, HBO channel treated me well tonight. A movie called "Love Affair" got me thinking and gave me the urge to write this.
When you're looking in the faces of every single person on the street searching for someone, when it hurts just when you think about that someone and even when it hurts as you've never been hurt before you still can't get over that someone, then that's agony. And to me that's what love is.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen

If you haven't seen the first one go now and watch it, then RUN to the nearest Cinema and watch the new one. Transformers: Revenge of the fallen is what a cinema movie is, great sound effects, amazing graphics, a pretty good story and a good ending.
I don't want to spoile the movie so I won't go into the details of the story but it's a good sequel with no changes in the details of the first movie to fit the second. In short words, it's a wild ride.
After I watched the movie I knew I focused on 2 things, first the geographical mistakes. If you're not from Egypt then you wouldn't notice that the Pyramids of GIZA are no where near Sinai and the Karnak Temple of Luxor is in Egypt not in Jordan. I have been to both and I assure you that they don't appear on the map near the Aqaba bay. That's a major mistake of the director.
The other thing was Megan Fox :D. Enough Said!
